I got a B&L 5x15x50 this year for my savage .243. I also added a Bell and Carlson stock and with this combination my groups tightend up a bunch. I have had it out night hunting and mounted my lightforce on the new scope. I realy like the large objective matched up with my light. I believe the etched reticle and the clarity of the glass will increase my night kills and it gives me more confidence in my shooting ability by getting better groups.
